In this paragraph we make target to consider the main difficulties in understanding and perception of the oral speech. Listening is not an easy type of speech activity at all. As the learning of the foreign language and development of auding skills are implemented mainly through listening, so it causes the largest difficulties. Auding is the only type of speech activity, at which on behalf of its performing, almost nothing depends.
